now and then i dont worry about it unless it would last a week...most of the time its beccasue of out side factors called my newphews who feed him things he should not have....but when i go to my brothers wilson runs to the boys room and flops with them while their playing their video games and movies....and well things get shared!!!!!!
try the pork a couple of times a week...i also feed my crew three times a day becasue i like to....but on sundays we dont do a complete fast but i cut their meal in half....

Hi Judy,

Thanks for your response. The chicken that I buy has 75 mg of sodium per 4 oz. serving, so I don't think that's the problem. I think I'll try the pork and egg as you mentioned and I was also thinking of reducing his meal size a little. Too much food can also cause lose stool, right?

Part of me thinks that it really isn't that big a deal if he doesn't have perfectly firm stool. I just know that his stool is the an important indicator that his diet is appropriate. Thanks again.

untill your well on your way with raw diet.....increase your bone is ok....but dont over do it to much....if they start turning white coming out of him you have to much bone....crush some egg shells thats great calcium also....
double check your chicken are you sure its not enhanced??? soduim added or any flavoring?? double check this...
'if in a week he is still having loose poop go to pork for a protein...and see if this helps....

gee, their ad even mentions for those who make their own BARF diet..neat!

Hi Jen,

Thanks for your feedback. I've posted a link to the grinder that I have below. It came highly recommended as a very good grinder for the price and so far it's worked great for me. I've only ground bone-in chicken breast, but it handles those with no problems at all. Also, from what I understand grinding chicken bones won't void the warranty as is the case with other grinders at this price point. Thanks again.

dogs can get the runs from too much fat, too many different proteins too fast, etc...so I'd stick with one protein and not increase bone....but others who have fed raw a LOT longer than I, I'm sure will chime in with more advice

by the way - what kind of grinder do you have? I'd like to get something new and be able to grind chicken breast, etc..

thanks and good luck - usually you see problems the other way with too much bone and no poos
